ok, my extractors are getting fitted tomorrow, they are cutting off the original final 2 into 1 cone that has a 2inch diameter and replacing it with a 2 1/2 inch one to suite the rest of my system. Ill let u all know how it goes.

Hey pipols, i got my extractors fitted last Friday, and i can only describe them as excellent, definetly more tork in the low to mid rev range, and it 'seems' to go harder in the higher end of the rev range as well, they allso enlarged the final few inches of the extractors to 2.5 inches.

cool greg, my exhaust is a little louder at idle, and a bit more throatier on acceleration, but i only have the standard exhaust with standard cat, with a lukey sports muffler, it seems that my standard exhaust is 214 inch in diamater, is that the standard factory size? im planning oh a high flow cat, and a 212 inch system soon, or maybe even a 3 inch, but dont know if the noise will be to much if i went the 3.

dont go 3 inch u will lose performance most likely cos lack of back pressure! keep it at 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 ", wat kind of lukey muffler is it ? get a hi flo cat as well, catalytic converters are so bad, mine is flanged and wen i take it off and put the pipe there it makes a huge difference.

there are other ways round buying a high flow cat, they are very restrictive and pratically useless after 60000k's neways. Apparently i read somewhere that a well tuned rb engine will still pass an emissions test without one? dont know how true that is.

my car came with a HKS 2 1/2 inch Super Drager exhaust, the extractors are "Coby" brand, ordered from www.partsco.com in New Zealand i think. I modified the final 2 into 1 section of the extractors to be 2 1/2 inch diameter to match my exhaust system.

    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT  
    • Haha good old Letterkenny! If you're looking for another great english canadian comedy, I strongly recommend Trailer Park Boys.
